Hi, I have been trying to find a lost diamond stud earing in the garden. It is only the really small ball and spike section. What setting on the e-trac would register a responce? I have tried the 4 Minelab factory settings on its partner earing and I cannot register a responce. Helppppp
The setting is gold, I am assuming?Quote:

Use the smallest coil you have, run 2 tone ferrous sounds and a wide open screen (NO Discrimination) Use the highest manual sensitivity you can get away with. Overlap all of your swings and go slow. If the numbers even register it would probably be around 12-02 or so. But go by sound. Any high pitched sound would be good to check. All iron should grunt, so go very slow and check every high pitched reading.
Can you get your hands on a Tesoro with a 7 or 8 coil it would sure make things a bit easier ?
Thank you for those tips:
Epi-Hunter, Yes I have the other earring to test on.
Coinnut, Yes I have the E-trac small coil to try.
Sheik Yerbooty: No Tesoro.
Many Thanks
